I'll be staying at Red Rock casino (conference) and then LINQ for a total of 7 nights. Main question is best 2/5 games - looks like no poker at RR (but they do have bowling!), so will need to go elsewhere. This will be first week in December. Is there a big difference in the games on weekends vs weeknights?

Also, maybe a couple cool attractions to visit. Any tips appreciated.

Say what? Red Rock definitely has a poker room, though I can't vouch for their 2/5 game. But I know I played 1/2 the last time I was there.

My bad - I didn't see poker under "gaming" at the RR site, but google says RR poker is part of Stations casino.

RR has 1/2 NL $300 max buyin and they’ll have 4-6 tables going during most nights. They also have 2/5 NL $1000 max buyin but there’s usually only 1 table going.....maybe 2 on a Friday or Saturday night if you’re lucky. Flopped quads also pays $500 on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and they have a BBJ around 140k but you currently need quad Q’s or better to win that.

The cafe also usually has some very good deals like a burger, fries, and drink for $5. Check their site out. You get $1 in comps per hour at the poker tables.

I stayed at Palazzo over Labor Day Weekend, 2/5 at the Venetian was very live when I was there. 2-3 straight donators who would rebuy at each of the 3 longish sessions I was able to play.

After hotel, bone-in ribeye, and rhino (obv), I wound up bringing back 2.8k more than I brought, not a bad little weekend.

But it was a holiday weekend so ymmv

Yeah Red Rock is where the author Steve Selbride plays. I've read all of his books. Recommend them.

How about a decent restaurant if a few of us from the conference wanted to go out one night? Nice, but something people could easily put on their travel expenses

Pretty clever throwing everyone off by misspelling his name too Steve.

Steve Selbrede. Never heard of him, and no I’m not him.

Again, I only stayed at Palazzo, definitely check out the fine dining and casual dining threads...

Brunch at Bouchon (Venetian) was pretty awesome. Was like $115 before tip for 6 of us

The buffet at the Grand Lux at Venetian was pretty awesome, anything you'd ever want for breakfast for like 20 bucks

I had the bone-in ribeye at Delmonico (~60ish), two half-sides, and a couple glasses of cabernet, and it was everything I hoped the experience would be

I like T bones at red rock. If work is paying, go nuts and get a seafood tower!
